Welcome to Litsy!

A YA retelling of #TheLittleMermaid for #FairytaleReadingChallenge

Set on a dystopian Earth, there are people with abilities known as aberrations hiding among conforms. Aria is an aberration who is able to breathe under water. As more people begin to push for registration and detention centres, Aria applies to be in the next colony on Mars.

I really liked this one, and might look out for the next book in the future :)

May was not super fruitful reading wise 🤣

I finished a book from April and my May #FoodAndLit and #FairytaleReadingChallenge picks

I started my #Roll100 on audio (so good! Just super long) and my #BookSpin book but haven‘t gotten over half way with either.

This month I am hoping to catch up on some earlier Bookspin reads but we will see how far I get! I am not getting through as many as I am hoping 😂

I liked it! Some of the romance storylines are a little more YA than I typically like, but the story is really picking up now! Plus it checks the box for this month‘s #FairyTaleReadingChallenge @Charityann

This was my pick for #FairytaleReadingChallenge #Rapunzel

It‘s the first in a series and follows Rapunzel out in the world after being thrown out of her tower for betraying the witch.

The background to the story is the familiar tale of Rapunzel, and then this follows her trying to find her place in the world and get over her love, coming across lots of other fairytales (like donkeyskin, the emperors new clothes, and Bluebeard!)

#MarvellousMay

Raised in the high walled garden of her mother, Gothel, Rapunzel has led a very sheltered life. What happens when she learns the truth of what is outside the wall? Wild, Wild West shenanigans. Fairy tale style.

This was pretty darn adorable. Middle grade, so a quick read, and pretty simple art, but with fun characters, an interesting twist, clever fairy tale cameos, & a VERY proactive princess. Will definitely be picking up the sequel! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Have I mentioned how much I love the #FairytaleReadingChallenge and how much I love this book. #Mulan was March, but I wanted to drag this book for a long time. The battle scenes were perfect. The characters were brilliant in tricking the villain. Loved this book. @Charityann

My last book for April was my second book for April‘s Cinderella #FairyTaleReadingChallenge. I‘m glad I finally started this series! I love the mythology and I liked the first installment even more than I thought I would. Looking forward to May‘s challenges! @Charityann

Super fun retelling of one of my fave Disney movies. I love this series! #FairyTaleReadingChallenge @Charityann

#BookReport x2 weeks since I was sick last weekend - the windowsill is starting to look a little more manageable as I spent much of my recovery time reading!! I also finished several chapter-a-day reads (The Other Bennet Sister, North & South, London Under). I had three Cinderella retellings (besides Cinder) for the #fairytalereadingchallenge this month, but the two I started didn't speak to me. Despite enjoying the Waterfire Saga by Jennifer ⬇

I think this book has been on my TBR since it first was published in 2012 haha Worth the wait - creative and fun with likable characters. I did feel like the place cyborgs had in society wasn't very well explained, but on the whole I really enjoyed this one. And since it's been on my list ten years, I don't have to wait for the rest of the series! Bought all the others on Pango so they should be here next week!!
